It you could meet Jesus how would it be? I would hope spectacular. I know I would be so excited. Over vacation the family went to a play called the Miracle. AWESOME!!!!!! It told the life of Jesus in such a powerful way…it was spectacular and exciting. After the show my littest one could not wait to meet Jesus. She was so excited. If you know her you know that she is shy. Normally she would not take to a stranger. But in this case I believe she felt comfortable because she truly thought it was Jesus. It made her vacation. In her mind she was with Jesus.
Should it not be that way for us? The faith of a child teaching us what is so important. To trust Christ. To feel comfort in His presence. To desire to be no where else but with Him. May we all have the faith of a child. May we all trust Jesus a little bit more!

Greetings,
First off….THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Praise the Lord for everyone who has and is working so hard for the Lord to make VBS a life changing experience.
As we ventured to Outrigger Island to caught a big wave…the WAVE OF GOD IS REAL!!! The reality of God in our world is overwhelming. The kids, youth and adults learned that God is as real as the person next to you. It is awesome to know that we serve the REAL GOD who created all things!!!!
I want you to know that the Devil is nervous and God is on the move. That is awesome. We already had a couple of youth saved (Brittany and Paige)…I know others will too!
The place truly looks awesome…just like a tropical paradise. Hawaii would be jealous!!!
I want to encourage everyone to realize this week will be exhausting, but rewarding. Remember to stay focused on Christ, be prayerful and patient in all things…it is all GOOD because God is GOOD…All the time!
Day 1 was a little hectic…front door being busted…thanks the Bob G. It is already fixed…air conditioning not working in one of the rooms…a few personalities/attitude issues (which we all have by the way)…working out timing/schedules and other things and the chaos of just managing 130 kids is enough to make your head spin. BUT IT IS AWESOME>>> and we are doing a GREAT JOB!!!!
Just remember God has brought us to this point to reach those who need Christ, to disciple those who do know Christ, to develop our character (which He is doing whether you realize it or not…He worked on me last night) and to have fun…did I say have fun..oh yeah…have fun okay!~! Are we having fun!!! Okay I will stop the fun thing…I think you get the drift!!!! Or should I say SURF!!!
Keep up the great work everyone…let’s join God. Continue to be in prayer for yourself and one another. It is hard to believe VBS is actually here…it will be over before you know it…so let’s enjoy every moment.
PASTOR COWABUNGA!!!!!!
See you tonight Dudes and Dudets.
I am so excited about the sermon series I have been preaching on – Genesis on a Laptop. It is so awesome to preach the truth. Especially in a day and age that has been taught to skoff at God as the Creator. We have been taught not to trust God’s Word on matters of Science, but the fact is the opposite is True!
God has provided the answers to how He created in the Bible. Genesis is True. The Bible is True. When we look at the facts through a Biblical Worldview the facts line up. It is when we try to take man’s ideas of evolution and twist the facts and try to make them fit into the Bible that we get into trouble.
God’s Word is Pure and Perfect in all that it speaks about! May we embrace God as the Creator of all life and may we learn to have a deep respect of the Word of God as absolute Truth!
May the God of all Creation bless you indeed!
